Under a vibrant pink-and-orange sky, Mount Tamalpais’s dark silhouette stands perfectly framed—the trompe l’oeil questions the boundary between painting and reality. Chelsea Ryoko Wong weaves her memories of real settings with imaginative embellishments, aiming not to replicate mere factual details but to capture the essence and spirit of each place. Her artistic vision extends to her figures as well; depicted with simplified lines, they celebrate diversity without cultural labels, each unique yet united in a shared liveliness and zest for life.
